Well folks, we have some more interesting stuff in /testing now. Our good friend LuckyCyborg posted a while back about our trials with GRUB2, and that we were banging our heads against a wall for no reason trying to bend GRUB2 with our 09_slackware_linux grub.d script instead of changing our kernel/initrd naming scheme to vmlinux-6.10.1-generic and initrd-6.10.1-generic.img. And, as is often the case, our friend is exactly correct. Once we stopped trying to swim against the current, GRUB2 started behaving as it should. The updates in /testing change the kernel naming scheme thusly, and modify the geninitrd script in the mkinitrd package to also use this naming scheme. And, of course, 09_slackware_linux is removed from GRUB2, and the 10_linux script is only lightly modified. Because lilo and elilo work with the symlinks to the kernel and initrd, they shouldn't care anout this change. We've probably got 6.9.11 coming tomorrow. Unless I hear that I should stop the presses on this change, it's likely that those kernels will be updated using the new naming scheme and the mkinitrd and grub updates will be moved into the main tree from /testing. We'll stick with 6.9 in the main tree for now because I'm still encountering suspend failure with the 6.10 kernel here. Enjoy! :-) a/kernel-firmware-20240723_b37d247-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded. ap/mpg123-1.32.6-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt. l/libxml2-2.13.3-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.

Remove 09_slackware_linux. 10_linux: don't rename Slackware ;-) This should configure the renamed kernel/initrd perfectly. Perhaps 10_linux should no longer accept initrd.gz as a valid name? For now it is accepted to avoid disrupting existing workflows. testing/packages/kernel-generic-6.10.1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. testing/packages/kernel-headers-6.10.1-x86-1.txz: Upgraded. testing/packages/kernel-huge-6.10.1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. testing/packages/kernel-modules-6.10.1-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. testing/packages/kernel-source-6.10.1-noarch-1.txz: Upgraded. testing/packages/mkinitrd-1.4.11-x86_64-35.txz: Upgraded. geninitrd: create initrd with initrd-version-name.img filename. Make compat symlinks by default. Always add LVM (I've seen it mistakenly skipped... if we can get to the bottom of that then we'll stop always adding it) Add /etc/default/geninitrd for configuration.
